I inquired of a most excellent electric bass player that I jammed with tonight; why the 5 string (Fender) bass? His 5 string is his go-to bass that he brings everywhere to perform with. This would require 2 basses for a player that already has a 4 string, and i have heard of a "double gig bag" to carry them both at once, something I would not do. I know the top heavy string is an open B string when using 5 strings. I note on LTG that many of the bass owners feel fully equipped with a 4 string bass. Is a 5 string really that much of an advantage?
What, if any, might be the disaadvantage of 5 string bass?
At a jam, a bassist has a good deal, in that if he is accomplished he can play with variuos performers, and for longer. Whereas on guitar, there are usually a whole host of variuos skills of guitar players ready to play.
